I have a question on the session logs maintained by Quickfixj. We have FIX engine built on webMethods Integration servers and there are two instances of FIX engine running on two servers in parallel. The session log files are shared between the FIX engines so that the failover can be handled seamlessly. The FIX engines are configured to start up at 7:00 AM and they shut down at 7:00 PM. The session logs are not deleted at the end of the day as Quickfixj can handle the session startup and shutdown on its own. We observed that sometimes when the session comes up in the morning, the sequence numbers starts at 1 but does not increment. That is, the FIX engine sends sequence no 1 to the client followed by sequence no reset message continuously, until the session log files are manually deleted and the FIX session is restarted. This happens at random, sometimes after being active for 3 days and sometimes after 15 days. The logs look like, 2011-04-08 07:30:20,955|INFO|Admin Message sent to counter party: 8=FIX.4.49=5235=534=149=*****52=20110408-11:30:20.95556=*****10=062 2011-04-08 07:30:31,113|INFO|Admin Message sent to counter party: 8=FIX.4.49=5235=534=149=*****52=20110408-11:30:31.11356=*****10=050 2011-04-08 07:30:42,628|INFO|Admin Message sent to counter party: 8=FIX.4.49=5235=534=149=*****52=20110408-11:30:42.62856=*****10=063 2011-04-11 07:30:00,887|INFO|Admin Message sent to counter party: 8=FIX.4.49=5235=534=149=*****52=20110411-11:30:00.88756=*****10=058 2011-04-11 07:30:21,046|INFO|Admin Message sent to counter party: 8=FIX.4.49=5235=534=149=*****52=20110411-11:30:21.04656=*****10=048 2011-04-11 07:30:31,201|INFO|Admin Message sent to counter party: 8=FIX.4.49=5235=534=149=*****52=20110411-11:30:31.20156=*****10=042 2011-04-11 07:30:41,544|INFO|Admin Message sent to counter party: 8=FIX.4.49=5235=534=149=*****52=20110411-11:30:41.54456=*****10=053 2011-04-12 07:30:00,875|INFO|Admin Message sent to counter party: 8=FIX.4.49=5235=534=149=*****52=20110412-11:30:00.87556=*****10=056 2011-04-12 07:30:21,030|INFO|Admin Message sent to counter party: 8=FIX.4.49=5235=534=149=*****52=20110412-11:30:21.02956=*****10=050 2011-04-12 07:30:31,182|INFO|Admin Message sent to counter party: 8=FIX.4.49=5235=534=149=*****52=20110412-11:30:31.18256=*****10=051 2011-04-12 07:30:41,337|INFO|Admin Message sent to counter party: 8=FIX.4.49=5235=534=149=*****52=20110412-11:30:41.33756=*****10=054 Any suggestions or comments will be helpful. Is this a known issue? Should we be using individual session log files for each FIX engine? Or is there anything else that we can code for to avoid this? Thanks in advance.
